It is a creative way for your sister to try and bypass the long lines for F-4. Why are they insistent on a Filipina? Is there a language issue that would prevent them from hiring someone of any other nationality? 

 

Care.com claim it takes 3 minutes to find a caregiver in your area on their site. I’m sure there are other agencies locally that can help. 

Filipina nurses are known to be hard workers, I have heard this a number of times from folks who live all over the country who are in the healthcare field. plus they have already had experience with the older sister (my wife). I don't think they liked the care they received from a number of the local LNA's in the past when the elderly lady had a bad fall & required in home assistance for around 6 months.

Hey, my wife happens to be an RN. Where is this wonderful opportunity? I heard a new car was being offered as a bonus? To me, the chance to kick the wife out of the house for years on end is good enough 

it's up in new hampshire so tell her to bring her snow shovel , she will really need it.

Your wife has a BSN but is a nursing assistant?

 

It isn't surprising that it isn't easy to find a local nurse to be a live-in caregiver.  It is well below the scope of practice for RNs, and most individuals cannot afford to pay a $60/hour wage, not to mention benefits/retirement etc.

yes, she needed to pass each of the 6 sections of the national nursing exam in her country with a score of 75% or higher. she was short by 1% in one section so she failed the exam.

the exam can only be taken twice a year so she took a job in a local hospital as she comes from a poor family & they needed the extra income. next year she will be signing up for an online LPN course, she just has to find a place to do the clinicals.

In addition, for home care, why would they need a registered nurse?  Unless they have specific skilled nursing needs (complex dressing changes, ventilators, infusions, sterile catheterizations etc),  a medical assistant or nursing assistant should be adequate.

is may be more along the lines that my sister inlaw already happens to be an Rn so they feel she is more than qualified.

or they may be looking to cover all the bases but i don't really think that is the case.

the elderly woman practiced nursing for almost 50 years so i am sure she knows what she wants

also i am getting this info 2nd hand from my wife so i do not know the exact details of the conversation

however i do know that they called my wife asking if she knew of anyone

as they are not at all happy where they are.

They can hire a local nurse

 

or the newly qualified Filipino nurse can make her own way here under eb3, there are companies that help with the US qualifying exams and placement by the green card sponsor , she will be bound to work for the sponsor for 2-3  years usually. This process is usually around a year

 

they cannot hire a foreign nurse in an attempt to undercut local wages 

and anyone working as a nurse etc needs appropriate local licensing 

i don't think they are looking to undercut local wages

however finding a local nurse who is able/willing to be a live in can be hard to find.

last year they offered my wife who has a BS in nursing the position including a new car but she already has a full time job working for

the county & she is married to me so she had to say "no".

i will research the eb3

thank you for the quick reply

Patrick

what are the steps required if you wish to hire a nurse from the Philippines?

my sister inlaw passed the national nursing exam in her home country a couple months ago & a local older couple wish to hire her.

they are not fond of paying out $18k per month for the 2 of them to stay in a nursing home.

both of them are still very mentally sharp but they are in their 90's

they want to go back to their own house to live out their days but they need some assistance.

my wife suggested that her sister would be a good fit for a live in care giver.

my wife who is a medical nursing assistant has cared for them in the past & they are ready to start the process

sooooooooo what is the process?

& what are the chances that they can pull this off?

what is the time frame? (i figured a year but i am just guessing)

thanks, Patrick

Yes, you can take a photo and upload the image file on USCIS online website. You can't pay online if you are doing a paper form. Right now, the online system is mature and 99% of people now are filing online.

USCIS is only accepting a small number of online applications at present,

 

I applied online on Feb 9th this year after I stumbled on this link and was a citizen 68 days later

 

 after you have completed the online application and attached the scanned supporting evidence documents

.

So my wife who has been in the US for 6 years is ready to apply for naturalization (she has a 10 year greencard)

so how do i scan documents? what format do they want? can i take pictures with a digital camera & upload the picture of the document?

can i pay the fee online with a credit card even if filing a paper form?

thank you
